[M]ost WH officials I’ve spoken to privately this week are closer to being numb than panicked. Those who went through the campaign with Trump are numb to the crises and thought so many times before that *this* would be the one to break Trump. They’ve been wrong so many times before — the vast majority of Trump campaign staff, no matter their public posturing, thought Clinton would crush him.

They view their boss as completely undisciplined and self-destructive. They’re exasperated by him … They’re sick and tired of the media feeding frenzy. But even in their most frustrated moments, they’ll admit that Trump has got some special resilience that they can’t begin to understand. A coat of protection that almost seems supernatural to them.

White House sources have texted me this week asking how bad I think the story of the day is. One asked me whether I thought Trump’s private comments to Comey were a better story or worse for Trump than the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape. Those who were there for “Access Hollywood” have no idea what it would take to sink Trump.
